Does Your Dryer Have Balls?

NelliesPVCFreeBallsMine does!

I’ve been using the original Nellie’s Dryer Balls for years and adore them. So when they sent me their new PVC free version to try, I couldn’t wait to give them a whirl.

Good news! They’re as efficient as the originals – Nellie’s just made these puppies from more environmentally friendly materials. I’ve found by using dryer balls, my family’s clothes dry faster (around 25% faster!), have less lint and are soft. I haven’t had to use fabric softener for years saving me money, packaging and time. Three things I love to save!

While Nellie’s left out the PVC in their new dryer balls, they added a fun feature – optional fragrance!  The center plugs of the dryer balls pop out to insert an optional soy wax fragrance stick. They release a subtle scent of citrus or lavender (both scents available at Greenfeet) while your clothes are being dried. The scent is subtle and simply helps keep your clothes smelling fresh.  The fragrance sticks are made with pure essential oils in a soy wax blend, and are both phthalate and synthetic free. Clever, huh?  

In a nutshell, here’s why I love my dryer balls:

  1. Reduces drying time saving me time as well as money on my energy bill.
  2. Saves me money on fabric softener (less trash too. No bottle, no trash)
  3. Keeps my family’s clothes looking great as they help reduce wrinkles and lint.

So, give ‘em a shot! Nellie’s dryer balls are a really easy way to cut down on energy use and helps make a mundane chore a little bit more enjoyable (and easier).  Trust me, once you get your own set of dryer balls, you’ll be asking your friends if theirs are as well “equipped” as yours.

PS. Beware of cheap imitation dryer balls. If they aren’t Nellies’ , they ain’t the same. Nellie’s are quality made and come with a manufacturer’s guarantee.  ‘Nuff said.
